Welcome to our Diabetes Week - dog walk profile page for Diabetes UK. Sarah and I have known each other for 16 years and share the same chronic condition known as Type one Diabetes. I have, in the past been guilty of not taking openly about my condition because I feel that people won't be able to relate or understand and I know Sarah has felt this way too. However, after 21 years I am beginning to speak more honestly about it, which has inspired this fundraising event. Living with Diabetes is a constant challenge and we have to fight daily to be healthy, even when we are tired and feel we have had enough - it can be relentless! But the beauty in this burden is that we can raise money towards the already outstanding science that Sir Frederick Banting founded all those years ago! and I am in awe of the technology that currently helps us to live a healthier life, hoping that one day a cure will be found -until then 'we may have Diabetes, but Diabetes does not have us!'. 

Did you know someone is diagnosed with diabetes every two minutes? As many as 4.8 million people are living with diabetes in the UK right now. So, we are walking towards a healthier us, and a better future for people living with diabetes. Support our challenge by hitting the donate button on my profile page.
